evo par recenzija od starih fanova.
Now that I've heard the new album, the overruling thought (throughout the whole thing) has been, "What the hell happened to Geoff's voice???" (Okay, I know he's sounded like this since HITNF, but still...)
The music itself isn't that bad (they seemed to like stealing cool little parts from O:MC), but the vocals are just crap. Do you think his voice is like this because he smokes?
But I can't say that I'm disapointed, because I never expected this album to be any good, and even much less anything compareable to O:MC (kinda like how Keepers 3 pretty much sux compared to the first two).
But sadly, none of these songs are memorable (in the same way that the songs were with #1).
I guess the highlight, imo, is the duet with Dio (who sounds great, btw).
I got the feeling they wanted to make O:MC2 have a more theatrical feeling overall. So, I think this album will make all the Meatloaf fans pretty happy.

The thing that blows my mind about O:M2 is that these guys not only have the balls to try and create a sequel to what is arguably their most beloved album (a no-win situation to begin with - but also a sign of just how desperate QR are these days to keep the ship afloat ten+ years after 90% of their pre-Promised Land fanbase stopped caring....) but that they'd then turn the keys to the car over to an alt rock producer, i.e. Jason Slater, and a guy who is not even remotely connected to the band's glory days/classic sound. This isn't a QR album at all - it's the Slater/Stone axis writing and putting together an album for 4 of the most burnt-out 'I'm faking it for a paycheck' people under the sun. I'm sure Tate wouldn't even have bothered to show up in the studio if there was a computer that could fake his voice well enough to dupe the Queensheep. Sad only begins to describe it..........
